Cake Ball, Cakeball Copse

Historical Forms
- Cakebull, Cakebullwoode, Copic' voc' Cakeball 1547 LRMB
Etymology
Cake Ball, Cakeball Copse, Cakebull , Cakebullwoode , Copic ' voc ' Cakeball 1547LRMB . It is unfortunate that no earlier forms have been found for this name. It appears to be identical with Cakebole in Chaddesley Corbett (Wo 236), in which case it is possible that that name should be interpreted as a single topographical term, not as a combination of a pers.n. and ball 'rounded hill'. Cf. also Cakewood W 290, 12 miles W., which is Cakewode in 1362.
